Read Online (No Cost): Horseman From Trajectory By Richard Russo

“Hey,” he said, planting a kiss on her

Horseman is the first of four short stories collected in Trajectory by Richard Russo. All four are gems, but Horseman is my favorite (the excerpt above is the key line in that story – according to me), and you can read it online gratis at The Atlantic.
